    Then why does the word "state" pop up so much more often than the word
    "business" in this post? The fact is that any concentration of power, minus
    transparency and accountability, will lead to tyrany. Why single out "big business"?
     I'd argue that big business in the form of corporations provides a
    democratic opportunity for shareholders (especially civic-minded shareholders like the
    California state employee pension system CALPERS) to take an interest in a
    company, demand transparency, and influence accountability. The comingling of
    state and enterprise is just as bad as the comingling of state and religion. Is
    this what you're saying, or are you saying something more case-specific?
